体坛英语新闻：Brazil to play three strikers at Olympics

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 16 (Xinhua) -- Brazil coach Mano Menezes has confirmed plans for a three-pronged attack at the Olympic Games football tournament.

Menezes said forwards Neymar, Hulk and Leandro Damiao would all start in Brazil's Olympic warm-up friendly against Britain in Middlesbrough on Friday.

The trio featured for Brazil's first team in a practice match against the squad's reserves on the final day of a pre-Games training camp in Rio on Sunday.

The first-choice formation also included Chelsea target Oscar in the role of playmaker in place of Santos starlet Paulo Henrique Ganso.

"The team that will begin the friendly is the same that started in the practice match on Sunday," Menezes said before the team's departure for London.

Brazil's squad received a visit at its hotel from Botafogo star Clarence Seedorf, who wished his former AC Milan teammates Alexandre Pato and Thiago Silva luck before their departure.
